 WordPress is a popular and powerful CMS, but it’s not without its issues. Here are some typical problems that I can fix:

Security Issues

  • Outdated plugins/themes – Vulnerable to attacks if not regularly updated.
  • Brute force attacks – Especially on default login pages (`/wp-login.php`).
  • Poorly coded plugins – Can introduce security holes or malware.

Performance Issues

  • Slow load times – Caused by too many pluginsm unoptimized images, poor hosting, no caching, database bloat – From post revisions, spam comments, and transients.

Update Conflicts

  • Plugin/theme/WordPress core conflicts – Updates may break site functionality.
  • Custom code overwritten – If changes are made directly to themes/plugins instead of using child themes or custom plugins.

Theme & Plugin Compatibility

  • Plugin conflicts – Two or more plugins interfere with each other.

 Theme limitations

  • Themes may not support certain plugins or customizations well.

Hosting-Related Problems

  • Shared hosting limits – Can slow down or crash your site during traffic spikes.
  •  Server configuration – Some hosts may not support key WordPress requirements (like specific PHP versions).

SEO Problems

  • Duplicate content – Caused by tag/category archives or pagination.
  •  Missing metadata
  • Poorly configured SEO plugins or themes.

Editor/Content Issues

  • Gutenberg block editor bugs
  • Blocks not working properly or conflicting with older themes.
  • Visual vs. code editor issues – What you see in the editor doesn’t always match the front end.

Customization Problems

  • Limited by theme options – Some themes don’t allow enough flexibility.
  •  Hard-coded elements – Requires developer knowledge to change.

Email Issues

  • Contact forms not sending emails – Often caused by server configuration or lack of SMTP setup.
  •  Emails going to spam – Due to missing SPF, DKIM, or proper mail settings.
